Connect Litium and SAP PLM

Connecting Litium and SAP PLM for a company could enable the transfer of product data and digital assets between e-commerce and product lifecycle management platforms. This could support consistent product information across channels, improve collaboration between teams, and help ensure that updates in product design or specifications are reflected in online offerings.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between Litium and SAP PLM around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect Litium and SAP PLM?

A company that operates both Litium and SAP PLM could benefit from connecting these systems to enable the exchange of key business data. Such a connection could support more accurate and timely information sharing between the e-commerce and product lifecycle management functions. Without this kind of data exchange, organizations might face challenges such as having to manually enter product information in both systems, which can increase the risk of errors and lead to inconsistencies. Over time, this could result in product records drifting apart, with teams potentially making decisions based on outdated or incomplete data. For example, if new product specifications or updates are entered in SAP PLM but not reflected in Litium, customers might see incorrect details online, or sales teams might work with obsolete information. Common data types that could be exchanged between systems like these include product master data, specifications, images, and pricing, as well as inventory and availability information. The actual data that can be shared depends on what each system makes available through its API and must be determined for each specific situation.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what Litium and SAP PLM make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
